Little brother we had five thousand days No longer can I hold your hand Little brother got to send you on your way We’ve crossed the street in our dirty feet To find a better life on the other side So go on without me now I need a pair of boots that fit me well ‘cause my streets aren’t paved with gold Little brother we had five thousand days I figured out how to survive Little brother got to send you on your way We’ve got to live our separate lives Little brother bless you, may you go through life Always dodging horses, always stepping right ‘Cause together we were lost, so go on without me now Be sure to look before you cross, you can go farther now I need a pair of boots that fit me well ‘cuz my streets aren’t paved with gold Little brother we had five thousand days We laughed and played when we weren’t afraid Little brother got to send you on your way Go be the kid you were meant to be Little brother bless you, may you go through life Always dodging horses, always stepping right Yes. We used to laugh a lot and that counts for everything Yet we couldn’t manage love without our histories I need a pair of boots that fit me well ‘cause my streets aren’t paved with gold Little brother we had five thousand days No longer can I hold your hand Little brother got to send you on your way We’ve crossed the street in our dirty feet Little brother bless you, may you go through life Always dodging horses, always stepping right Little brother we had five thousand days We laughed and played when we weren’t afraid Little brother got to send you on your way Go be the kid you were meant to be Little brother Little brother No longer can I hold your hand© 2005 Happy Rhodes / BMI
